regional water policy studies should therefore include an assessment of the e
ects of trade
on water policy. For water-scarce countries, it would also be wise to do the reverse: study
the possible implications of national water scarcity on trade. In short, strategic analysis
for water policy-making should include an analysis of expected or desirable trends in
international or inter-regional virtual-water
ff
fl
ows.
